X-Boyz and Girlz, it's the moment you've all been waiting for. X-Men '97 has arrived and we're thrilled to report that it's bringing more heat than a Phoenix firestorm. Join us as we celebrate the mega two-part episode return of our old faithful friends who are back to take on some familiar foes (Gyrich, Trask, and the Sentinels) and some new threats to mutant-kind (X-Cutioner). 

The Professor's out of the picture and Magneto's running the show. Jean and Scott contemplate leaving the X-Men to start a family. And Rogue and Magneto TOUCH ON a secret romantic history. Stick around for a quick power rankings of the newly expanded X-Men squad to see how they're stacking up.

Most other pods will lump in their coverage of this iconic show's revival with other content, but that's not how the Boyz roll. We've given episode-by-episode in-depth analysis of the original series and we're here to do the same for '97 every week on Thursdays. If you love mutants as much as we do, join us, won't you? Boyz, out.

The name's Crawler. Nightcrawler. And his mission is to infiltrate the heavily guarded chemical warfare facility at an F.O.H. dam in the US of A. Team commander on this assignment is "Wolverine" with additional support from rookie field agent Jubilation Lee codenamed "Jubilee." Be on the lookout for human rights extremist Graydon Creed. Intel says he's resurfaced with a vengeance. Operation "Mystique" is a go. But only if you choose to accept. Boyz out. 

Behold! Magnus makes his triumphant return! When Quicksilver and his sister Scarlet Witch learn they’re adopted, they soon discover that Magneto, currently on a quest to find a long lost love, may just hold a clue to their past. And they’re not the only heavy hitters featured in this ep — a Guardians of the Galaxy alum also makes an appearance. It’s got Wolvy. It’s got Beast. What else do you need? It’s X Boyz time. This is, Family Ties.

With great power comes great liability. Especially when you're a reality-shifting, body-snatching, energy-sapping teenager who's never seen the outside world. That's Kevin aka PROTEUS, a mutant who escapes from the research lab of the woman who puts the "ex" in Professor X -- Moira McTaggert. It's up to Xavier and the squad to help her track down this dangerous mutant (and the X-Boyz to analyze a two-part episode that probably should've just been one-parter).

Stick around after our re-cap for a little mid-season mutant power rankings as the Boyz discuss how the main members of the team are stacking up so far (01:43:44).

For a long time, the boyz have asked the question, what would the world be like without Xavier? Well, this week’s mega two-parter explores a dark future where the Professor isn’t around to fight for mutant rights. A timeline where Magneto has a beard and Beast hates literature. A place where Wolverine and Storm are… in love?! This sounds like a job for Bishop. And back, of course, along with him, is our beloved space/time continuum expert Rob Fonda. Join as we dive into a rare episode arc that actually inspired the comics as together we discover just what “One Man’s Worth.”

The title says it all: NIGHTCRAWLER IS HERE. Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue's ski vacation turns into a demon-hunting quest when local villagers claim a devilish blue boy is creeping around their holy town. But is he truly a villain? Or is their prejudice the real evil? Does Nightcrawler's teleportation cloud leave behind a stench? This and more, only on X-Boyz.

Oh, boy, it's another solo Cyclops episode. And this time it's a Wild West bonanza. When Scott flies to a desert town to look for an old friend, he winds up stranded and powerless in a militant town run by a ruthless mutant leader. Cyke's gotta prove his leadership chops if he hopes to inspire the peaceful mutant townspeople to strike back against subjugation. Join The Boyz as they take a trip in their wagon and search for gold by digging into Secrets, Not Long Buried.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! For countless episodes, The Boyz have shaken their fist at the sky and screamed "WHERE'S MORPH?!" At long last, we proudly present the return of our favorite shape-shifting, wise-cracking X-Man. And he's brought a few of our favorite Season One friends with him. Is Morph ready to re-join the squad or do sinister thoughts still plague him? Are he and Wolverine still best friends? Does he have a real name? We'll answer these questions and more as we recap Season 4 Episode 6, "Courage." An episode so good, you'll sh*t your suit.

When an old enemy from the past makes Xavier lose himself, the X-Men soon find themselves facing off with an evil version of their fearless leader. Join The Boyz as they discuss Professor X’s favorite subject: himself.

Oh, Magnus... Where have you been? Well, it turns out our long lost friend Magneto was cooking up his boldest plan yet in his quest to save mutantkind. Set your Blackbird coordinates for Asteroid M. You’re in for a double-whammy two-parter filled with Ex-friends, Ex-lovers, and X-Boyz.
